Thank you for the effort, I think this is a very good idea. Also nice would be to allow overriding cache settings of another component, this means one wouldn't have to change OOTB files and there would be no need to maintain patch files either.
This strategy could be extended to all files related to configuration (.properties or .xml). I've seen other open source projects which have such a strategy implemented, the only difference is that the OOTB configuration file to be extended has a suffix in its name (example: cache-ext.properties). -- Vyom On 25 August 2014 13:22, Adrian Crum <[email protected]> wrote: > I recently committed a small change to UtilCache that allows us to specify > the properties file to use for cache settings. > > Currently, all cache settings for all components are contained in a single > file - cache.properties - located in the base component. > > From my perspective, it would be nice to have each component use its own > cache settings file, and the cache.properties file can be used for default > settings and the base component only. > > What do you think? > > -- > Adrian Crum > Sandglass Software > www.sandglass-software.com >
